The book also includes discussion questions for the classroom. Famous trial lawyer David Boies, for example, tells how he overcame dyslexia to become a skilled debater and renowned courtroom orator. Leapholes includes a very special Afterword in which two dozen top lawyers and lawyer/authors - from David Baldacci to Dick Thornburgh - tell children in their own words what inspired them to become a lawyer. Packed with the pacing and suspense of a legal thriller, Leapholes is so historically accurate and conveys such a keen understanding of basic legal concepts that it gained the enthusiastic backing of the American Bar Association. Best of all, Grippando's new novel is a fun way to learn that lawyers help people, and that legal precedents are about real people who had real lives and real problems, just like we do today. Leapholes is time travel with a legal twist, where law books and important legal precedents come to life.
